Kennedy Krieger Institute Employee Reviews for Clinical Assistant

"Prepare to give up your outside life"

What do you like about working at Kennedy Krieger Institute?

"The people are friendly and genuinely care for the patients there. The benefits are generally outstanding, especially if you are looking at going back to school. You will definitely feel like you're making a difference in the lives of the people you work with."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Stay friendly and be confident. The people that tend to get hired for this position are able to handle stress well, and tend to be in school."

What don't you like about working at Kennedy Krieger Institute?

"If you work in this particular department (neurobehavioral unit, inpatient), be prepared to not have a life outside of work. Not only is the work taxing and dangerous (I've known people that have gotten their fingers/noses/ankles broken), but the overall appreciation and respect is non-existent for doing the entry level work. Be prepared to work on all and every holiday (no exceptions), as well as an average of one on-call per week where the company has the option of making you work an extra shift."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Have higher pay, and less mandatory responsibilities. Most people leave this position due to the high level of danger/stress that doesn't outweigh the paltry salary."
